GE sets great store by hydrogen. In an interview to Business Line, GE’s President--South Asia, Mahesh Palashikar, said: “We have proven technologies in the gas turbine space. GE’s latest gas turbine, the 9HA.02, uses precision-engineered, advanced premix combustors that can burn over 50 per cent hydrogen by volume blended with natural gas.”
He added, “we are working on improving that to 100 per cent.”
Further he added: The net efficiency level of a power plant powered by a 9HA.02 gas turbine in combined-cycle mode is more than 64 per cent, which means it can convert 64 per cent of a drop of fuel into electricity. In comparison, the average car engine only manages 40 per cent efficiency.
Palashikar further noted, “We also have a great path for the next few years, where we will keep improving technology. This is something that we are leading in. We are prioritizing investment in technology to cost-effectively scale renewables and advances in hydrogen and carbon capture technologies.”
